Opel Demonstrates Cooperative Highly Automated Driving
Opel Test Center hosts final presentation of German research project Ko-HAF
Rüsselsheim. #opel has successfully demonstrated a future that promises fewer traffic accidents and freedom for the driver to read, write or relax instead of continuously monitoring the car.
The automaker is part of Ko-HAF – “Kooperatives hochautomatisiertes Fahren” – a German project researching cooperative highly automated driving, which began in June 2015. The #opel Insignia prototype displayed the functions of cooperative highly automated driving during the presentation of Ko-HAF’s final results at the #opel Test Center Rodgau-Dudenhofen.
Cooperative highly automated driving systems do not need to be supervised by the driver all the time.
Drivers can perform other tasks, but when prompted by the system they must be able to take control of the vehicle within a certain time period. The vehicle must therefore be able to “see” further ahead than possible with its own sensors. In Ko-HAF, vehicles send information about their current road environment, such as construction sites, traffic jams and accidents, to a Safety Server.
The information is collected and processed by the Safety Server, so that a precise map is available to vehicles when they request it – like an artificial horizon that delivers a highly detailed preview of the road ahead.
